The present invention relates to a method for positioning a plurality of tool heads in a converting machine for converting sheet material into box templates, comprising: providing a plurality of tool heads located at a first set of individual positions within a converting area, moving the plurality of tool heads within the converting area in a first movement by means of a transport mechanism that is arranged to be coupled individually to each tool head, moving at least one of the plurality of tool heads in relation to the transport mechanism in a second movement, wherein the plurality of tool heads are moved to a second set of individual positions by the first and second movement, and wherein the second movement takes place during the first movement. The invention also relates to a tool heads positioning device.

A machine for transversely cutting logs of paper material including a cutting station in which is arranged a cutting unit including an arm rotating about a horizontal axis and on which it can mounted a blade adapted to perform the transverse cutting of one or more logs of paper material introduced in the machine and placed in the cutting station, where is arranged a loading station in which a support is provided for supporting a further blade intended to replace the blade mounted on said arm, and in which said support is connected to a mobile unit allowing it to be moved between said stations. The support is always provided with a blade-holder hub with a respective pin. The blade-holder hub is removably connected to the support.

A cutter assembly for a printable medium comprises a cutter to cut the printable medium, a trench adjacent to the cutter, and a trench cover, the trench cover at least partially covering the trench. The trench cover is movable between a supporting configuration to support the printable medium, and an open configuration to receive portions of the printable medium in the trench. The cutter assembly comprises an elastic element for biasing the trench cover towards the supporting configuration. The cutter comprises an engaging element and the engaging element engages the trench cover to move the trench cover from the supporting configuration towards the open configuration.

A cartilage cutting device for a bone-in meat according to an embodiment includes a cutting blade disposed on a conveying path for a bone-in meat and an elastic support portion for elastically supporting the cutting blade so that the cutting blade can recede by a reaction force applied to the cutting blade when cutting the bone-in meat. The elastic support portion is configured such that an elastic supporting force of the elastic support portion is switchable between a first elastic supporting force and a second elastic supporting force. The first elastic supporting force is capable of cutting a cartilage adhering to a bone part of the bone-in meat. The second elastic supporting force is smaller than the first elastic supporting force and is incapable of cutting the cartilage.

The present invention relates to a method, a mounting kit, a positioning bar, a knife holder, and a slitting machine, by means of which a plurality of knife holders can be attached, at a determined spacing from one another, onto a traverse of the slitting machine. The method comprises in particular the following steps: Providing at least two knife holders, Providing at least one positioning bar, wherein the positioning bar has at least two form-fit configurations, Making a mounting unit, by the attaching the knife holders onto the positioning bar at the positions determined by the form-fit configurations, wherein adjacent form-fit configurations on the positioning bar determine the spacing between adjacent knife holders, Positioning the mounting unit on the traverse, Fixing the knife holders onto the traverse at the spacing from one another determined by the positioning bar.

A system that converts sheet material into packaging templates includes a converting assembly that performs conversion functions, such as cutting, creasing, and scoring, on the sheet material as the sheet material moves through the converting machine in a first direction. The converting assembly may be mounted on a frame such that the converting assembly is elevated above a support surface. One or more longhead converting tools performs conversion functions on the sheet material in a first direction and a crosshead converting tool performs conversion functions on the sheet material in a second direction in order to create packaging templates.

A cutting apparatus for cutting an essentially V-shaped strip from meat products fed in a transport direction has a knife carrier to which two knife units are assigned. Each knife unit has a circular knife and a drive for rotationally driving the circular knife about a central axis of rotation. The two circular knives are set substantially in a V-shape to each other in a position enclosing an angle. An adjustable arrangement of the knife units provides for setting of the size of the angle. The offset of the two central axes of rotation to each other is equal to zero in the transport direction and the two knife units are adjustable exclusively synchronously with each other. A corresponding apparatus and method for cutting an essentially V-shaped strip from meat products fed in transport direction is also provided.

A longitudinal cutting device with a cutting mechanism, which is arranged between an infeed and a delivery and has rotary cutters movable transverse to the transport direction, comprises transport devices that are arranged on the knife receptacles of these rotary cutters and bridge the region of the cutting mechanism with a conveying effect.

An apparatus and method for removing sheet or web material from a roll employs an at least partially hollow cutting tube that rotates against a cull roll. The cutting tube has a slot along some of the length of the tube and carries a blade that is extendable from the slot. As the slot positions against the cull roll, the blade is extended and translated along the length of the slot to cut the material away from the roll.

A printer comprises at least one longitudinal cutter module to cut a print medium in a longitudinal direction with respect to a print media advance direction. The printer comprises a controller to position the longitudinal cutter module along a direction perpendicular to the print media advance direction. The controller is to receive a full-bleed print job and in response to receive print job to position the at least one cutter module along the direction perpendicular to the print media advance direction. The longitudinal cutter module is positioned by the controller to longitudinally cut the print medium.
